Founded in 2013 by TV/Film Producer, Philanthropist, and Media Activist Cathlyn Choi, the Asian Culture and Media Alliance (ACMA) is a distinctive grassroots nonprofit organization. Our core mission is to advocate for the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities, promoting cultural preservation, equity, inclusion, and diversity through the impactful medium of media arts.
Our primary goal is to amplify the voices and shared experiences of our diverse AANHPI community. We achieve this through media arts that bridge the gaps between diverse communities.
One of ACMA’s core objectives is to provide educational opportunities and mentorship programs that inspire future generations of storytellers, producers, writers, directors, and media technicians. To provide such resources, ACMA introduced TAKE ONE in 2016, a free Vocational Youth Media Arts Training and Internship Program, from which over 333 participants have graduated.
Largely self-funded by ACMA's founder and show producer Cathlyn Choi, Asian Pacific Voices is a collective of cable television and radio podcast platforms dedicated to documenting, preserving, and showcasing Asian and Pacific Islander arts and culture landscapes throughout Southern California and beyond.
Our weekly hosted podcast series, Asian Pacific Voices Radio, launched in 2021, offers a platform for honest dialogues that dive deeper into social and cultural issues impacting our AANHPI community, including immigration, mental health, self-identity, and social justice. With an average of 500 daily listeners, it is accessible on all major podcast platforms and again via our YouTube channel.
We're on a vital fundraising mission, aiming for $20,000 to sustain our radio podcast series for its new season in February and produce 24 documentary segments by Spring of 2025. Your support is crucial to our success!
We invite you to support ACMA’s journey to continue empowering the AANHPI communities through mainstream media, giving us a proud, resounding voice!
